My fellow Locians, I may have mentioned some of this before, but I will list here all the upcoming events for Loci. ----------- LOCI '99 When? September 7-21, 1999 (one day; exact date and time to be determined) Where? Somewhere in the Boston area (place to be determined) This is to be the first official meeting of people involved in Loci and The Open Lab. Discussion topics include Loci design, publication, and funding. It was initiated because Gary will be in Boston for those two weeks. Also likely to attend (besides me) are Ken Marx, David Lapointe, and maybe Robert Harrison. I don't expect anyone to come from a long distance; those I listed are in the U.S. northeast. ----------- BAMBCT SHOW-AND-TELL When? Thursday, September 23, 1999, at 4PM Where? Genome Therapeutics Corp, Waltham, Massachusetts Yours truly will give a 15 minute presentation on Loci in a special "show-and-tell" meeting of the Boston Area Molecular Biology Computer Types (BAMBCT). David Lapointe should be there too. ------------ OPEN SOURCE / OPEN SCIENCE '99 When? Saturday, October 2, 1999, all day Where? Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton (Long Island), New York I will have a poster and maybe a running demo of the Workspace at the conference. It really seems like it'll be a nice conference to attend. I may carpool with David and someone else. If you want more info on this, check out the Web site: http://openscience.bnl.gov/ ------------- PACIFIC SYMPOSIUM ON BIOCOMPUTING 2000 ???? LOCI 2000 ???? When? January 4-9, 2000 Where? Honolulu, Hawaii Some big question marks on this one. I may make this a vacation with my two brothers, which will mean it'll cost less for me :-) I would submit a poster on Loci. If I do what it takes to pull off a trip like this, I'd definitely want to have a Loci meeting at the same time. So far, I think Gary will go, and Jennifer and Thomas Junier might be able to go. But we still haven't heard from the vast majority here. LET ME KNOW, PLEASE. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb/ -------------- Well, it looks like I'll be busy very shortly! Cheers.
